London's last RT buses on parade
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 7 Apr 1979
Following the arrival of the very last RT bus at Barking Garage, a parade of a selection of this iconic type was held. The leading bus is RT1, the very first of the type, at that time privately preserved, and current part of the London Bus Museum collection, still in working order. Submission of this image was prompted by David Kemp's image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6106538 of the 40th Anniversary celebration of the event at Barking Garage.
